action packed

Rating: 6/10 (18 April 2014)

This movie was like another version of Transformers, this time with alien/sea monsters doing the attacking. The aliens, aka Kaiju, have come from the ocean instead of the sky; There is a breach that leads to another dimension. And for some reason, the Kaiju only come 1 by 1 and months apart instead of sending in a whole bunch at one time. How does that make sense? You attack with numbers. And ways as you can see this movie requires the viewer to suspend a lot of common sense in order to enjoy.
Humans have built giant "Transformers", aka Jaeger, to battle the aliens. It takes 2 people to operate the Jaeger. So our hero, Becket, has lost his brother in battle and gets recruited again for one last attempt to stop the Kaiju. He goes to Hong Kong where there are only 4 Jaeger left. Some Kaiju show up and we get another big battle. The general has a plan to end it all by blowing up the breach.
Overall, it was a good action flick if you overlook the loop holes in the story and all reality. The special effects were really good, which is what made the film.
FINAL VERDICT: a good choice for a popcorn flick
